LAYERED PESTO AND ROASTED RED PEPPER DIP



Layered Pesto and Roasted Red Pepper Dip image

I found this delicious dip recipe on a box of Wheat Thins. The taste is so amazing and elegant. If I didn't know better, I would have thought there was wine in the recipe. I tried each layer seperately and they were good - but perfect together on a cracker. The photo shown is what this recipe makes....for company, I would double it if I were you. Pesto and Red Pepper...a great combination now in my book!

RED PEPPER-PESTO DIP



Red Pepper-Pesto Dip image

This came from a box of Sundried Tomato and Basil Wheat Thins - different because it uses a fresh bell pepper instead of a roasted one! Very simple and good - I've been asked for the recipe anytime I have served it, in fact, I usually make a double batch.
